Supplies - Justin Timberlake

The Experience:When I'm walkin' with you I watch the whole room change... When the moment is perfect and your only wish is that it never ends...

Music video: Scene 1: Justin Timberlake faces a world full of evil - the wall full of television screens showing oppression and injustice. He's hopeful - his coat is green - and confident - he has a pile of supplies that mirrors the shape (the magnitude) of the TVs (the world's problems). Scene 2: he rescues Eiza Gonzalez Reyna from a crowd of white clad and painted haters. Both of them are dressed in black and leave black footprints - they don't fit in. Scene 3: Justin walks down a dark street casting a bright shadow that inspires other light shadows to brave the darkness. Scene 4: Justin in a gathering of flashlight-bearing figures that brave the darkness in the light of burning flags. Scene 5: Justin and Eiza destroy an Illuminati-themed idol, even though the worshipers still bow down before the wreckage of their false god. Scene 6: Justin, Eiza and company racing through the city streets, free and unhindered. Scene 7: Justin and Eiza walk through a city square where a whole crowd is trapped floating in the air - each person alone and trapped in their own dreams. They free two of them, who fall - literally - out of their trance. Scene 9: the wall of televisions explodes one by one. Scene 10: Justin rises out of dry sand into the burning wreckage of that oppresive world. He and Eiza take a group of orphans out of a burnt out car - symbol for their interrupted and broken lives - and gather them into a family. The video ends with one of the boys defying the unseen spectators: leave us alone and wake up out of your own delusions. The video as a whole is powerful imagery of the strength, survival, freedom and vision that Supplies asks men to provide. However, scene 8's embrace between Justin and Eiza - an image of the love that Justin's supply of strength is meant to sustain - is muddied by gratuitous and at one point graphic flashes of fully topless Justin and Eiza making love.

The Meaning of Supplies: Justin Timberlake offers a vision of who a true man should be. He should always be there for her - light when she can't see and wood when she needs heat and the generator when she needs electricity and a level head when things go wrong. He should never run out - he has supplies and he will always be there for her. Even if the world were to end.

Ask yourself: Do you have enough supplies to see the people you love through life's physical and emotional hardships?Album: Man Of The Woods (2018)
